Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Scene 5 Summary

  • Aboard the Hogwarts Express, Harry, Ron, and Hermione take a cabin with Professor R.J. Lupin, who's taking a catnap.
  • Harry fills Ron and Hermione in on the fact that Sirius Black wants him dead. Stop bragging, Harry.
  • Suddenly, the train stops.
  • And the lights go out.
  • And it gets really, really cold. Cold enough to freeze a bottle of water in the cabin. (This would be a handy ability to have in the summer.)
  • A spectral figure appears at the door, and slides it open with one bony, gnarled hand.
  • The hooded creature peeks inside, and appears to be sucking Harry's soul from his body like one big pasta noodle.
  • Before it can slurp up Harry, Professor Lupin stands and banishes the beast with a blast of silver light from his wand.
  • Harry regains consciousness, and is told the creature was a Dementor, a guard of Azkaban, searching the train for Sirius Black.
